anger when she refused to leave his apartment in February

00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.840
twenty twenty four, then fled with their two daughters, triggering

8
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.719
an Amber alert. Defense says he was protecting his child

9
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.640
from being held hostage self defense versus second degree murder.

10
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.960
California Mike Trout took the stand in a civil trial

11
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.880
over whether the La Angels should be held responsible for

12
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.920
communications director Eric Kaye giving pitcher Tyler Skaggs a fentanyl

13
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.600

using something. Widow wants one hundred eighteen million dollars and Massachusetts.

17
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.480

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.760
Terence Crosby, charged with raping a woman in a Boston

19
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.920
hotel during Saint Patrick's Day celebrations. Last year. First trial

20
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.719
ended in mistrial after jury deadlocked. Now twelve new jurors

21
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:35.359
are deciding his fate. Verdict watch begins. I'm Red Carter.

22
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:41.079
Today trials in three states, self defense claims, celebrity testimony,

23
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.359
and a jury weighing rape allegations for the second time.

24
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:52.760
This is celebrity trials. Let's start in New Hampshire, Manchester

25
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.719
Hillsborough County Superior Court, Day three of testimony in state

26
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.840
versus Dustin Durham, February twenty ninth, two thousand, twenty four

27
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.519
leap year, Berlin, New Hampshire, small mill town near the

28
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.319
Canadian border, population nine thousand. Dustin Durhan, thirty eight years old,

29
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.439
lives in an apartment with his girlfriend, Caitlin Nafzger, thirty one,

30
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.240
and their two daughters, ages four and one. That night,

31
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:28.280
something happened one gunshot. Caitlyn died instantly bullet to the head.

32
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.479
Dustin loaded both girls into his twenty seventeen white Subaru

33
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.159
and drove one hundred seventy miles south. By morning, Caitlin's

34
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:41.919
body was discovered amber alert issued two children, missing, father,

35
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.719
armed and dangerous. The subaru was spotted at an Applebee's

36
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.439
parking lot in Keene, New Hampshire. Carolyn Campbell, former Las

37
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.680
Vegas police dispatcher, was driving to her daughter's house when

38
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.919
the Amber alert woke her phone. Minutes later, she saw

39
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.639
the white Subaru. Called nine one one followed the vehicle

40
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.759
whilst saying on the line with dispatchers, here comes the

41
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.520
white Subaru. She told them that's it, that's the car.

42
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.520
Police arrived, guns drawn, body camera's rolling ordered Duran to

43
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.319
open the door with one hand. He complied. Both daughters

44
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.960
found unharmed in the back seat. Duran arrested without incident. Now,

45
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.639
nineteen months later, he's on trial for second degree murder,

46
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.319
reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, and child endangerment. The

47
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:35.479
question why did he shoot Caitlin prosecution's theory anger and control.

48
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.199
Senior Assistant Attorney General Joshua Spiker told the jury this

49
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.680
is a case about rage. Dustin demanded Caitlin leave the apartment.

50
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.800
She refused. He ripped one of their daughters from Caitlyn's

51
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:53.719
arms and shot her, execution silencing her forever because she

52
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:59.560
wouldn't obey defense theory, self defense and child rescue attorney

53
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.159
Hannah Cake He told the jury Caitlin was holding their

54
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.840
daughter hostage. The child was crying, being used as a

55
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.840
human shield. Dustin, a marine veteran with PTSD, responded to

56
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.800
a threat, shot Caitlin wants to save his daughter. Tragedy

57
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.959
not crime. Two completely different narratives, same evidence, same witnesses,

58
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:26.560
opposite conclusions. Day one, Dustin's father, Mark Duren, testified he

59
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.639
received a call from his wife in Minnesota. She'd heard

60
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.040
from Dustin that Caitlyn had been shot. Mark immediately called

61
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:37.199
Berlin Police Department. His son needed help. Mark also testified

62
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.560
he'd given Dustin a Bretta nine millimeter handgun when Mark

63
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:44.120
retired from the Sheriff's office. That's the gun that killed Caitlin.

64
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.920
Jury saw crime scene photos, Caitlin's body in the apartment,

65
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.240
blood evidence, the layout of the room where she fell

66
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.879
where she died. Day two, Tuesday, the woman who spotted

67
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.639
Durn's car during the Amber alert testified. Carolin Campbell described

68
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.199
following the Subaru to the Applebee's parking lot, staying on

69
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.120
the phone with nine to one one making sure police

70
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.519
could locate him. Jury watched body camera footage of the

71
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.480
arrest officers approaching the vehicle, Duran cooperative, opening the door

72
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.480
as instructed, Both girls secured safe. Then the evidence got technical.

73
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.279
New Hampshire State Police intelligence analyst Tracy Flaherty testified about

74
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.480
cell phone data showed Duran's movements after the shooting. Drove

75
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.439
south immediately no stops, straight to Keene, one hundred seventy

76
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.759
miles in the middle of the night, with two toddlers

77
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.920
in the back seat. State Police trooper Nicholas Post processed

78
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.879
Durhans Subaru. Found children's clothing, a pillow, blanket, fruit cups,

79
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.279
adult pajama pants, a diary, paper towels, water bottle, cleaning wipes,

80
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:56.560
desktop computer tower, the barretta handgun with magazine, and a

81
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:01.519
spent nine millimeter cartridge. Firearm examiner Jill Theo tested the baretta,

82
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.199
confirmed the bullet that killed Caitlin was fired from that gun.

83
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.360
Also confirmed the weapon was not susceptible to jar off discharge,

84
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.040
meaning it couldn't accidentally fire if dropped or jostled. Dustin

85
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.319
had to pull the trigger intentionally. Day three brought more

86
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.959
forensic evidence, more testimony, building the state's case that this

87
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.759
was murder not self defense. Here's the defense problem. Dustin

88
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.959
admitted shooting Caitlin. His attorneys tried to block his police

89
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:36.160
interview from evidence, arguing it would prejudice the jury. Judge

90
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.600
allowed it. In that interview, Dustin allegedly admitted to killing her.

91
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.120
So the facts aren't in dispute. Dustin shot Caitlin. Question

92
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.279
is why and whether that why justifies the killing. Defense

93
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.279
says yes, Caitlin was holding their daughter hostage, creating a

94
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.680
dangerous situation. Dustin, trained as a marine, reacted to neutralize

95
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.079
the threat. One shot, sent her mass to protect his child.

96
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.000
But here's what undermines that claim. Dustin fled, drove one

97
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.480
hundred seventy miles, didn't call nine one one, didn't call

98
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.680
his father until later, didn't stay at the scene, didn't

99
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.279
render aid, didn't explain to police what happened, just packed

100
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.839
up both kids and ran. If it was truly self defense,

101
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.399
if his daughter was genuinely in danger and he saved

102
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:31.839
her life, why run? Why trigger an amber alert? Why

103
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.759
make police think you kidnapped your own children. Self defense

104
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:39.040
means you feared imminent harm, you used reasonable force to

105
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.439
stop that harm, and you immediately reported to authorities. You

106
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.040
don't flee one hundred seventy miles with the kids and

107
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.879
get arrested at an Applebee's the next day. Prosecution argues

108
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:53.279
Dustin's actions after the shooting prove consciousness of guilt. He

109
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.839
knew he'd murdered Caitlin, knew he'd face consequences, so he ran,

110
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.680
took the girls to prevent them from being taken by

111
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.519
child services, tried to disappear. Defense argues Dustin was in shock,

112
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.639
PTSD kicked in, he panicked, made bad decisions in the aftermath,

113
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.120
but the initial shooting was justified. Jury will have to

114
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.720
decide which version they believe. Trial expected to last another week.

115
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.720
Both sides will present more evidence, more witnesses, more expert

116
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:26.959
testimony about PTSD, domestic violence, dynamics, self defense law. Then

117
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:31.160
it goes to the jury, twelve people deciding whether Dustin

118
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.559
Duran is a murderer or a father who made a

119
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.879
terrible choice to save his daughter. Caitlin Nafzger was thirty

120
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.120
one years old, mother of two daughter, sister friend, shot

121
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.960
once in the head on a February night. She should

122
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.000
be raising her daughters, watching them grow, building a life.

123
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.919
Rest in peace, Caitlin. We'll be right back with Mike

124
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.600
Trout's testimony about his late teammate Tyler Skaggs and the

125
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.559
civil trial asking whether the Angels enabled the communications director

126
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:16.879
who supplied the fatal fentanyl pill. Welcome back to celebrity trials.

127
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.679
I'm reed, Carter Santa Anna, California Federal Court civil trial,

128
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.600
wrongful death lawsuit Tyler Skag's widow and parents versus the

129
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:29.559
Los Angeles Angels. Tyler Skaggs, twenty seven years old, left

130
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:35.279
handed pitcher Angels, starting rotation since twenty sixteen. July one,

131
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.759
twenty nineteen, found dead in a hotel room in South Lake, Texas,

132
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.559
a Dallas suburb. Angels were supposed to open a four

133
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.679
game series against the Texas Rangers. Instead, they found their

134
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:53.000
teammate cold and unresponsive. Coroner's report, choked to death on

135
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.879
his own vomit, toxic mix of alcohol, fentanyl, and oxy

136
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.279
codone in his system. Accidental overdose, Except it wasn't random

137
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.120
pills from a street dealer. The fentinyl came from Eric Kay,

138
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:10.480
the Angels communications director, counterfeit oxy codone laced with fentinyl.

139
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.080
Kay was convicted in twenty twenty two. Federal criminal trial

140
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.600
in Texas, five MLB players testified they'd received oxy codone

141
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:23.320
from K between twenty seventeen and twenty nineteen. Kay sentenced

142
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.279
to twenty two years in federal prison. Now the family

143
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.000
wants justice from the team, arguing the Angels made reckless

144
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.840
decisions that gave k access to players while he was

145
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.519
addicted to drugs and dealing them, that the organization knew

146
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.519
or should have known, that they enabled a predator who

147
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:44.919
killed Tyler Skaggs. Angels defense Skags was drinking heavily, his

148
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.000
actions occurred on his own time, in the privacy of

149
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.200
his hotel room. Team not responsible for personal choices. Players

150
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.879
make off the field family seeking one hundred eighteen million

151
00:10:55.960 --> 00:11:02.559
dollars lost earnings, pain and suffering ve damages. Tuesday, Mike

152
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:06.440
Trout took the stand. Three time American League MVP hit

153
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.120
his four hundredth career home run this year. One of

154
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.879
the greatest players of this generation and Tyler Skagg's friend,

155
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.720
Trout testified he loved Skags like a brother. They roomed

156
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.679
together as rookies in Iowa. Both drafted out of high

157
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.600
school in two thousand and nine. Trout from New Jersey

158
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.759
Skags from California, came up through the system together, played

159
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.399
for the Angels together. Skags was funny, outgoing, fun to

160
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:34.159
be around. Trout told the jury carried a boombox, teams DJ,

161
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.840
kept the clubhouse loose. Trout said he never saw signs

162
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.799
of drug use from Skags, no red flags, no behavior changes,

163
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.000
nothing that made him think his teammate was using opioids.

164
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.279
Skags hit it well, or maybe Trout just didn't know

165
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.759
what to look for. But Trout did see signs from

166
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.080
Eric Kaye. Trout testified Kay was good at his job,

167
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.759
getting players to give interviews, guiding them on which questions

168
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.879
might be asked, handling media relations, but something was off.

169
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.879
At one point, a clubhouse attendant suggested the players should

170
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.399
stop paying Ky for stunts he was pulling, taking a

171
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.519
fastball to the leg, shaving off his eyebrows, eating a

172
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.440
pimple off Trout's back, bizarre behavior, concern the money might

173
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.399
be used for a bad purpose. Trout said he'd seen

174
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.559
Kay acting wired, sweating. The first thing that came to

175
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.120
mind was drugs. Trout told the court it was clear

176
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.240
Kay was using something. Trout just didn't know what. So

177
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:35.600
Trout approached him, told Kay if he needed anything to

178
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.960
let him know, offered help. Kay apparently didn't take it.

179
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.600
This is the crux of the family's case. The Angels

180
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.960
knew Eric Kaye had a drug problem, Players knew, staff knew,

181
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.600
management should have known, but the team did nothing. Kept

182
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.960
Kay in his position, gave him access to players, let

183
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.399
him travel with the team, enabled his addiction and his dealing.

184
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.200
Kay wasn't just using, he was supplying. Five players testified

185
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.480
in his criminal trial admitted getting pills from k creating

186
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.159
a pipeline of drugs flowing through the Angels organization, and

187
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.600
on July first, twenty nineteen, that pipeline killed Tyler Skaggs.

188
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.799
The defense argues Skags was an adult, made his own choices,

189
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.720
asked Kay for the pill, took it, voluntarily mixed it

190
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.360
with alcohol. The team can't be held responsible for every

191
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:31.039
decision a player makes in private, but the family argues

192
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.320
the Angels created the environment. Knew Ka was addicted, knew

193
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.440
he had access to players, knew something was wrong, did nothing,

194
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.960
and that negligence cost Tyler Skaggs his life. After Skaggs's death,

195
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:49.080
MLB and the Players Association reached a deal started testing

196
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:53.480
for opioids, referring players who test positive to treatment. Too

197
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.320
late for Tyler, but maybe saves the next one. Other

198
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:02.159
players expected to testify Form's pitcher weighed Miley currently with

199
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.200
the Cincinnati Reds, Others who saw Kay's behavior, who knew

200
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:10.159
something was wrong. Trial expected to last weeks. Jury will

201
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:14.360
decide did the Angel's organization fail Tyler Skaggs, Did they

202
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.960
enable Eric Kay? Are they liable for his death? One

203
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.559
hundred and eighteen million dollars. That's what the family says.

204
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:25.960
Tyler's life was worth, his future earnings, his pain and

205
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.919
suffering in those final moments, the punitive damages to punish

206
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.159
the organization for failing him. No amount of money brings

207
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.240
Tyler back, but it sends a message. Teams are responsible

208
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.519
for the safety of their players. Can't turn a blind

209
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.039
eye when someone in the organization is dealing drugs, can't

210
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.840
pretend everything's fine when players are dying. Tyler Skaggs was

211
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.360
twenty seven years old, left handed pitcher, regular in the

212
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.600
Angel's rotation, struggled with injuries but kept fighting. Should be

213
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.519
pitching today, should be mentoring younger players. Should be alive,

214
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:07.440
rest in peace. Tyler coming up irish firefighter Terence Crosby

215
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.679
awaits his second jury's verdict on rape charges. Did he

216
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.240
rape a sleeping woman in a Boston hotel? Or is

217
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.200
this a case of mistaken identity and alcoholic memory loss?

218
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:28.759
Jury now deliberating, Welcome back to celebrity trials. I'm reed Carter, Boston, Massachusetts,
